Axions as dark matter particles (2009, background): “While these are impressive tour de force experiments, how to relate these limits to expectations from the PQ axion is not straightforward [51].”
A review of short-range gravity experiments in the LHC era (2014, background): “Many results from the Eöt-wash group were introduced in (Adelberger et al. 2009), not only for the inverse square law but also for other gravity-related measurements.”
The Neutron and Its Role in Cosmology and Particle Physics (2011, background): “), or by the exchange of multiple bosons, see the review by Adelberger et al. (2003). The new interaction with coupling constant g is not necessarily linked to gravitation, and one can make the general ansatz of an additional Yukawa potential as,”
Dark Matter Direct Detection with Accelerometers (2015, background): “First, it produces a static force between clumps of matter (such as between the Earth and a test mass), and this force is constrained both by tests of the inverse square law and of the EP, depending on the vector mass (see, for example, [63]).”
Modified Gravity and Cosmology (2011, background): “1 mm, with torsion-balance tests of the inverse square law [10].”
Search for New Physics with Atoms and Molecules (2017, methodology): “Torsion-pendulum tests of the ISL are reviewed by Adelberger et al. (2009) and Newman et al. (2009); recent torsion-pendulum experiments by Kapner et al. (2007), Yang et al. (2012), and Tan et al. (2016) have established the most stringent constraints on α for 10−5 m <∼ λ <∼ 10−2 m [Eq.”
Probing dark energy with atom interferometry (2014, background): “Laboratory and solar-system experiments show that any such ‘fifth force’ is far weaker than gravity [3], suggesting in a simple Yukawa model that the underlying physics is at energies far above the Planck scale and impossible to incorporate into normal quantum field theory.”
The Cosmological Constant Problem: Why it's hard to get Dark Energy from Micro-physics (2013, methodology): “But tests of the principle of equivalence, such as those using lunar laser ranging [21, 22], show that gravity couples to the total energy density of an atom, including its binding energy, to an accuracy of a part in 1013, and so could in principle tell if, for some reason, quantum fluctuations with”
